Privacy Policy

At AgMart, we are committed to protecting the privacy of our users while providing a powerful community-driven marketplace. This policy explains what information we collect and how we use it.

1. Information We Collect

To provide our services, we collect limited personal information and relevant agricultural data:

• Account Information: We collect your Phone Number and Email ID for authentication, account recovery, and essential communication.
• Agricultural Data (User Assets): When you use "Market Connect," you provide details about your crops, including variety, acreage, sowing dates, and harvest timelines.
• Location Data: With your permission, we collect GPS coordinates to help you find the nearest markets and show regional supply trends.
• Media Content: Photos and videos you upload to verify your crop quality and harvest status.

2. How We Use Your Data

Your data is used primarily to enhance your market position:

• To connect you with regional buyers and sellers in the Market Connect community.
• To generate regional price intelligence and supply heatmaps.
• To provide personalized advice through our AI assistant, Market Mitra.
• To verify the authenticity of listings through GPS-tagged media.

3. Nature of Agricultural Data

We recognize that crop information is an asset of the user. While we treat this data with care, it is classified as Agricultural Information and not as Sensitive Personal Data (such as financial, biometric, or health records). We collect this data specifically to facilitate agricultural trade and transparency.

4. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal identity to third-party advertisers. Information regarding your crop listings and market requirements is shared within the AgMart community to facilitate trade. You have control over your visibility through privacy toggles within the platform.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure.

6. Your Rights

You may access, update, or delete your account information at any time through the Profile section. You also have the right to toggle the visibility of your individual journal entries.
